Separate the simulation iterations from the rendering loop. #5

Closed sholloway closed 5 years ago

sholloway commented 6 years ago

An iteration in the simulation should not be directly tied to a rendering loop. The app should have a fixed target frame rate. The number of iterations ran should not automatically be the frame rate.

Possibly leverage Web Workers.

Adopt:

DOMHighResTimeStamp
- e.g. let tNow = window.performance.now();
window.requestAnimationFrame && window.cancelAnimationFrame( MyGame.stopMain ); https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Games/Anatomy
